Purge the darkness from within

7 Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.1
8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast,2 the bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians 5:7-8 NIV
 
Let’s make it a point to continually purge the dark, wicked, sinful thoughts, deeds, wishes, etc., from within by holding ourselves accountable to God and His Word.  I think one of the best things that we can ask ourselves on a continual basis is, “Is this something Jesus would say, do, or think?”.  If He wouldn’t, then we need to immediately begin to replace those wrong thoughts with His Word, and ask Him to help cleanse us of the unrighteousness we hold. Not only will our outlook on life be enlightened, but it will make Satan bow his head in defeat, and that, my friend, is something that can’t be passed up.
